UPDATE: net-snmp - fix some overzealous character escaping

[paulbeard@…]

The port will install a directory called "${prefix} in the system root and deposit some goodies there, rather than interpolating your chosen destination.

I have a patch that handles the trivial changes.

patch to take out some unneeded "\" characters that muck up the install

Just rebuilt net-snmp (+ipv6 +ssl +zlib), don't get the problem (no /${prefix} directory). I'm on Mac OS X 10.3.9, dports freshly updated today (20050426 11:31 PDT). Any other info you have on your system that will help show what's different?

I just tried to install it again and it can't find openssl ('cuz I don't have it installed). openssl won't install claiming it can't find zlib which *is* installed.

I'm on 10.3.9, running the same old darwinports (with fresh sources): I'm not using any of the RCs for the 1.0 release.

How do I disable those dependencies (zlib, openssl)?

Is zlib installed and active? There is a problem with "installed" but not "activated" ports - the deps engine will find the receipt for a "installed" but not "activated" port and think its okay to use, resulting in failure later on. Nominally, you should be able to turn off the default inclusion of ssl and zlib in net-snmp, however it appears that doesn't work right. I'll change the Portfile to build in ssl and zlib by default and add no_ssl and no_zlib variants. Done, also updated to 5.2.1 while at it. Please update and give it a try. If it fails, I'd like to see the output of 'port -v -d configure' and 'port installed', perhaps that will give us some clues.

hrm, didn't mean to close this bug.

[paulbeard@…]

So how do I specify variant without ssl or zlib, just to get over this hump?

first off update your base/, it is out of date. See if that works for you, if not I'd like to see the same outputs again. If you really don't want ssl support, the no_ssl variant will remove ssl support.

[paulbeard@…]

Updating base/ seems to be moving things along: I still don't know how to install a variant, though.

[paulbeard@…]

Looks like it's resolved: don't know what was causing it.

Still seeing it on another system, but I'll try updating base/ and see what that does.

(root@…)-(01:28 PM / Wed Apr 27) ${prefix}/var# pwd /${prefix}/var (root@…)-(01:28 PM / Wed Apr 27) ${prefix}/var# ls log net-snmp (root@…)-(01:28 PM / Wed Apr 27)

No mistaking what port is involved.
